On 6 April, the EKA Department of Fashion Design will open its Estonian Colour Blue exhibition that brings together fashion, nature and cultural heritage as part of the Estonia 100 art programme at Pärnu Museum. “The colour blue describes our nation, values and cultural history extremely well – slightly cold and Nordic, deep and quiet, and at first unapproachable and distant,” said Piret Puppart, Head of the EKA Department of Fashion Design. The exhibition is based on the traditional motives of Estonian folk costumes. The works reflect the designers’ original interpretations of Estonianhood, the development of Estonian fashion culture and its connections with nature.
The exhibition will run until 26 May.
Participating artists: Edvard Hiietam, Külli-Triin Laanet, Karita Kärmet, Hannes Rüütel, Kreet Kärner, Nele Kurvits, Andreas Kübar, Eliise Saar (2nd year BA students) and Kadi Adrikorn (2nd year MA student)
